Do you ever think about the younger version of yourself and wonder if they are still a part of you or if you totally replaced them?

I was thinking of this when I was reading “the little prince” a book with themes about childhood.

It made me question if the child version of myself is still me, if he is a part of me, or if the current me replaced him.

Also it takes 5 years for every atom in your body to be replaced so from a materialist perspective you replace your younger self.

She's still very much me, I haven't really changed to be honest, during a time i thought but I'm the same as before. I'm just better at talking to stranger on the street than before but if not I'm the same.

[KostasKouvalis]

Don't ever change 😉
I'm less shy around strangers too

[alice55]

@KostasKouvalis I don't want to ^^

[KostasKouvalis]

Me either honestly.
Good, people like you are very rare. I've never met anyone like you before and I don't think I ever will again ^^

[alice55]

@KostasKouvalis Thank you that's really nice ^^
I never meet someone like you either, we're so much alike and go along well :)

[KostasKouvalis]

We really ARE, and we really DO! It's crazy! We've never even had a fight, even if sometimes we disagree on some things
I wished we lived closer.

@alice55 @KostaaKouvalis I think you both are cool as well, I hope neither of you change.

Alice I think it’s good you still hold onto that part of yourself.

Some people lose that part of themselves when they become bitter and angry.

[alice55]

@KostasKouvalis That's crazy but that's also really cool :)
Yes

[alice55]

Thank you :)
I don't really wish to change that would be weird like losing myself and becoming a stranger, getting better on some stuff yes but if not I prefer staying the same.

That's quite sad

I know I had very intense emotions as a younger person but I don’t know if I was a good or bad person because I did not have the ability to evaluate morality in a correct way before I became religious.

The gradients in my personality are too smooth to know where it changed but too different to doubt that it did.

All my younger versions are still very much a part of me.

[Caroline91]

Very much there. I incorporated all of the lessons learned and came out strong.

[exitseven]

No, never. I am still that same 17 year old kid who still believed.

[NathanDavis]

I am myself
